Five players three medals Six or more players four medals The allocation for team category will be the same as for individuals (for example in team matches with only four teams entered only gold, silver and one set of bronze medals will be awarded).

This policy applies only to individual competitors. Only weight categories with three or less entries may be subject to Category Combining. However in the case of only three entries if it is not possible to achieve Category Combining safely and according to the Guidelines then a pool of three elimination system will be considered. A) Combining within the same age division. Players should remain within their age division if possible. B) Combining using weight categories. Weight category competitors may only be combined with other competitors who are no more than one weight category lighter or one weight category heavier. Special consideration should be given to the actual weight differences when dealing with the lightest and the heaviest female and male categories (as a guideline a maximum of 10kg actual difference when combining the lightest weight category and a maximum of 20kg actual difference when combining the heaviest weight category should be considered as a limit unless there are other compensatory factors such as experience etc.). Weight should be the primary consideration when moving players about within their own age division or combining them with other age divisions in accordance with the age division guidelines below.

M9/F9 etc.) may only be combined with other competitors who are no more than one age division higher or more than one age division lower i.e. competitors in M7/F7 may only be combined with competitors from M6/F6 or M8/F8. 10
